How does this forum thing work?

Checking out the discussion tools extension, hopefully it's easy enough to delete things jonny (talk) 22:27, 20 May 2026 (PDT)Reply

Where do replies happen, are they separate pages or does discussion tools just edit the page jonny (talk) 22:29, 20 May 2026 (PDT)Reply
Yea, as you can see, replies happen within a the topic page they are replying to. You can also reply to replies and they should nest correctly. On a given topic/Talk page, it should work mostly like how Discussion Tools talk pages work except I was trying to mostly keep it to 1 topic per page which is sort of the opposite of how standard Talk pages work.

Another Topic

on the same page? is this supposed to be how it works? jonny (talk) 23:10, 20 May 2026 (PDT)Reply

This forum just uses the Discussion Tools and Echo extensions that come bundled with MW to turn Talk pages into a sort of forum. Ideally each topic gets its own page but there isn't anything stopping someone from creating another topic within an existing forum talk page. Daniel Aharoni (talk) 09:12, 21 May 2026 (PDT)Reply
